NEW-YORK, 1st JULY, 1851. 

Gentlemen : 

With a list of the prices of articles furnished by us for Printers and Bookbinders, 
we also present cuts and descriptions of some of our principal machines, all of which 
are made under our own immediate supervision, from the best materials, by tried and 
experienced workmen aided by machinery of the newest construction. 

We keep constantly on hand a variety of our Presses and other materials, and 
furnish, at the lowest prices, every article used in a printing office, including Types from 
the different Founderies and TVood Types. 

The character of our Presses and other articles being already well known we need 
but to assure the profession that it will be our constant aim to maintain their reputation, 
and to introduce such further new machinery as may be required by the increasing ne- 
cessities of the business. 

We desire to acknowledge the many favors hitherto received and to renew our 
assurances that all orders confided to us shall meet with careful and prompt attention. 

Your most obedient servants, 

R. HOE & CO.

TYFK REVOLVING. FAST PRINTING MACHINE 


. See page 1 1 


A horizontal cylinder of about tour and a halt teet in diarneler,is mounted ori a shaft, 
with appropriate bearings; about one-fourth of the circumference ot this cylinder con¬ 
stitutes the bed of the press, which is adapted to receive the form ot types—the re¬ 
mainder is used as a cylindrical distributing table. The diameter ot the cylinder is 
less than that of the form of types, in order that the distributing portion ot it may 
pass the impression cylinders without touching. The ink is contained in a fountain 
placed beneath the large cylinder, from which it is taken by a duefer roller and 
transferred, by a vibrating distributing roller, to the cylindrical distributing table ; 
the fountain roller receives a slow and continuous rotary motion, to carry up the ink 
from the fountain. 

The large cylinder being put in motion, the form of types thereon is, in succession, 
carried to four or more corresponding, horizontal impression cylinders, arranged at proper 
distances around it, to give the impression to four or more sheets, introduced one by 
each impression cylinder. The fly arid feed-boards of two of the impression cylinders 
are similar to those on the well-known double cylinder press; on the other two, the 
i sheet is ted in below and thrown out above. The sheets are taken directly from the 
feed-board, by iron fingers attached to each impression cylinder. Between each two 
<>f the impression cylinders there are two inking rollers, which vibrate on the distri¬ 
buting surface while taking a supply of ink, and at the proper time are caused to rise, 
by a cam, so as to pass over the form, when they again fall to the distributing sur¬ 
face. Each page is locked up upon a detached segment of the large cylinder, called 
by the compositors a “ turtle,” and this constitutes the bed and chase. The column- 
1 rules run parallel with the shahs of the cylinder, and are consequently straight ; 

' while the head, advertising, and dash rules, are in the form of segments of a circle. 

V cross section of the column rules would present the form of a wedge, with the 
small end pointing to the centre ol the cylinder, so as to bind the types near the top ; 

, for the types being parallel, instead of radiating from the centre, it is obvious that 
if the column rules were also parallel, they must stand apart at the top, no matter 
how tight they were pressed together at the base ; but with these wedge-shaped 
j column rules, which are held down to the bed or “ turtle” by tongues, projecting at 
intervals along their length, and sliding in rebated grooves cut crosswise in the 
face of the bed, the space in the grooves, between the column rules, being filled with 
[ sliding blocks of metal, accurately fitted, the outer surface level with the surface of the 
bed, ihe ends next the column rules being cut away underneath to receive a projection 
• on the sides of the tongues, and screws at the end and side of each page to lock them 

together, the types are as secure on this cylinder as they can be on the old flat bed. 

The cut represents a press with four impression cylinders, capable of printing 10,000 
repressions per hour Four persons are required to feed in the sheets, which are 
I thrown out and laid in heaps by self acting flyers, as in our ordinary cylinder 
j presses. A press with eight impression cylinders will print 16,000 or more impressions 
per hour. 


niRWTIONS I OK MAKING COMPOSITION ROLLERS. 

Koli.kks arc made of best American Glue anti Sugar House, or thick West India, Molasses, or 
thick Sugar Syrup. 

For summer use, to each pound of glue add one pint ol thick molasses. The quantity of each, how 
ever, will depend upon the temperature of the weather; more glue being required in warm than coni 
weather. A medium roller will require about five pounds of glue to two quarts of molasses. 

Place the glue in a bucket, and cover it completely with clean water: let it soak from 20 to 30 
minutes : then drain off the water and let the glue in the bucket remain covered for 3 or 4 hours, or 
longer ; it will then he in order for melting. The glue should then he put into the small kettle with 
water enough in the large kettle to completely surround the small one. Then place the same over 
the tire, and let the glue boil until completely melted, which will require from 1 to 2 hours. The 
molasses may then be added, and well mixed with the glue by very frequent stirring, and the whole 
ho led an hour or an hour and a half longer, and then poured into the mould and suffered to remain 
until cold. The mould should be perfectly dean and freely oiled with a swab before using it. After 
being taken out of the mould, the oil on the roller may be wiped off with paper, and the roller ex¬ 
posed in a cool place to the air for 2 or 3 days. When quite new rollers should be used as long as 
possible without washing, or until they become so dirty as to require it. Washing the roller too 
soon before the composition acquires consistency is apt ’o injure the face of it. After that, it may 
he washed whenever it becomes dirty, or loses its adhesion ; it should he washed in Ive with a soft 
sponge, or soft rag, and rinsed perfectly clean with water and wiped dry

DOUBLE CYLINDER PRINTING MACHINE. 


(See page 13.) 


In its arrangement this press is similar to the Single Small Cylinder Machine : except 
that it has two impression cylinders each alternately giving an impression from 
the same form. The sheets are supplied by two attendants, and, it required to 
print short editions of various sizes, it will be necessary to have a boy at each end 
of the press to receive the printed sheets, but where large editions or forms of uniform 
size are worked, not requiring frequent changes of the tape wheels, the self sheet 
flying apparatus is very efficient and economical, placing the printed sheets in heaps 
with precision, and dispensing entirely with the two boys otherwise required for that 
purpose. 

The large amount of printing ordinarily done on these presses, and the consequent 
speed required, have rendered necessary greatly increased strength and weight of mate¬ 
rial in all the parts, together with simplicity in the mechanical arrangements, and the 
utmost perfection ol workmanship. The noise and annoyance occasioned by the con¬ 
cussion of the bed against the springs, which are placed at each end of the machine to 
overcome the momentum of the bed, has been removed by means of adjustable india- 
rubber buffers placed at the points of contact, which in no way interfere with the lively 
and certain action of the spiral springs.

SINGLE SMALL CYLINDER PRINTING MACHINE. 


(See page 15.) 


In this press the form of types is placed upon a Hal bed, and the impression taken 
upon the paper by means of a cylinder, while the form is passing under it. The small 
size of the cylinder allows the machine to be constructed in a very eompaet manner, so 
as to shorten the distance which the bed travels, thereby considerably increasing the 
number of impressions in a given time, beyond the single large cylinder press. 

The machine is of convenient height for use. One person only is required to feed 
down the paper, whose position is but a step from the floor. It will give from 2,000 to 
3,000 impressions per hour, with perfect safety to the machinery. The printed sheets 
are thrown out by a fly frame in a uniform pile. Register sufficiently accurate for 
newspaper and job work is obtained by the patent feed guides, which are attached to 
each press. When required a registering or pointing apparatus is furnished, and the 
press may then be used advantageously for book work. 

This press is made in the same substantial manner as the double cylin ier press de¬ 
scribed above, with buffers similarly arranged to prevent noise. 

When driven by steam power, No. 8 occupies 8 feet by 12 feet. If by man power, 
requiring fly wheel and stand, it occupies 8 feet by 16 feet.

Patent Single LARGE Cylinder Printing Machine. 



This Machine is particularly adapted to Book and line Newspaper work, it has a 
perfect registering apparatus and sheet-flyer ; also adjustable iron bearers, so that stereo¬ 
type may be worked with the same facility and beauty as type forms. Ofte boy is 
required to lay on the sheets, and the press may be driven by man or steam power. 
With the same attendance, it will print twice as fast as any bed and platen machine, and 
equally as well in every respect; say from 1,000 to 2,000 impressions in an hour, accord¬ 
ing to the size of the press, and the quality of the work desired. We now furnish vul¬ 
canized india rubber impression cloth for these presses, and as it is not readily indented 
by the type, forms of different sizes may be worked without any change of blankets. 
Overlays are conveniently made on the rubber, and may be removed by a wet sponge. 
To prevent noise buffers are applied as in the double cylinder machine.

New Job Printing Machine. 


The long-existing want of a cheap and fast press for jobbing, smaller than our cylin¬ 
der presses, has induced us to get up the “ Little Jobber.” This press combines the 
advantages of speed and durability with convenience, simplicity and cheapness. It is 
capable of throwing off 2500 impressions per hour with ease, or more, if the feed-boy 
can supply the sheets, and may even be driven by the foot with a treadle, and works so 
still, that a person standing a few feet from it, cannot hear it. The manner of running 
the bed is entirely original and is done by means of a crank and lever, which gives it a 
slow and uniform motion while the impression is being taken, but a quick retrograde 
movement, thus combining a slow impression with speed. Another new feature of the 
press is, that the sheet-flyer is so arranged, that no tapes pass around the impression 
cylinder, so that whatever sized form is worked, there are neither tapes nor fingers to 
shift, thus obviating the only objection to that apparatus lor a jobbing press. It has an 
iron feed and fly-board, and all our recent improvements, such as an adjustable knife 
to the fountain, bearers for the bed, patent feed-guides, &c. &c. 

The bed is 16x13 inches inside of bearers, and 18x13 inches without bearers. The 
I press occupies 5 feet by 3 feet.

The celebrity which our Patent Washington and Smith Hand Presses have obtained, 
and their exclusive and constant use in almost every Printing Office in the United States 
and other countries, during the last twenty years, renders any remarks upon their supe¬ 
riority unnecessary. They are elegant in appearance, simple, quick and powerful in 
operation, and combine every facility for the production of superior printing. Each 
press is tried at the manufactory, and warranted for one year.

Patent Smith Printing Press. 



DIRECTIONS FOR PUTTING UP THE WASHINGTON AND SMITH 

HAND PRESSES. 

It will be necessary to observe that all the connecting parts are marked, or indented 
by points ; it these are carefully observed the press may be put together without difficulty. 

Aftei setting the frame upon its legs, and putting on the ribs and bed, lay the platen on 
the bed, placing under it two bearers about type high. Then put the springs in their 
places, and the nuts over them, and pass the suspending rods through them, observing 
to place the tods so that the number of indentations on them correspond with those on 
the platen. Give the nuts two or three turns, then run in the bed, so as to bring the 
platen under the rods, and screw them fast to the platen, after which put in the bar-handle, 
standard and lever, (or wedge and knees if a Smith Press.) Turn the nuts on the sus¬ 
pending rods, so as to compress the springs just enough to give the platen a quick retro¬ 
grade motion, observing at the same time to get the surface of the platen parallel with 
the surface of the bed. 

After having put the press together and levelled it, be particular not to raise the end 
of the ribs by the gallows, but let it go under rather loose, which will have a tendency 
to make the bed slide with more ease on the ribs. 

The size of the Press is marked on the front end of the platen. 

Presses of large size destined for Mexico, South America, or other mountainous re¬ 
gions where there are no carriage roads, have their frames made so that they can be 
taken to pieces and packed in smaller packages.

Ready Proof Press. 


This Machine consists ot a cast iron table or bed and railway, supported by a cast iron 
frame. The solid cast iron cylinder is of weight sufficient to give the requisite impression ; 
there is also a closet, to keep the ink roller and wet paper in, which when open (as shown 
j in the cut) answers for a distributing table. 

The cylinder has flanges at each end to prevent it from running off' the track ; the 
surface of the cylinder is turned parallel, and the space between the rails is covered with 
a blanket; the railway stands above the level of the bed, as much as the height of the 
type and the thickness of the galley bottom. The Machine should stand level, so that 
the cylinder will rest at either end, and when a proof is required, place the galley with 
the matter in it on the bed, ink it, lay on the slip of paper and roll the cylinder to 
the other end of the railway. 


Price, including proof roller, $65.

Patent, Hand Press, Steam Inking Machine. 





In consequence of the introduction of wood-cut illustrations into the finest letter-press 
work, a greater distribution of ink than has been heretofore obtained is rendered neces¬ 
sary. With this object in view we have constructed an Inking Machine, to be attached 
to a hand press, to be driven by steam power. It has two rollers to pass over the form, 
one or more times to each impression. The strongest inks may be used. The distri¬ 
bution is perfect, and uninterrupted by the operation of the Press. The Machine is 
not at all liable to get out of order.

New, Patent, Self-Inking Machine.—1848. 



By means of this Machine the Pressman inks the form by the ordinary operation of the Press, 
and gives a mote perfect distribution of the ink. The present machine, patented by Richard M. 
Hoe, and but recently introduced to the public, is much more simple in its construction, regular in 
its movements, easier to put up. and is far superior in every respect, to any thing of the kind here¬ 
tofore in use.

DIRECTIONS FOR PUTTING UP. 

The Machine must be taken from the box in a careful manner, and each part cleaned and laid by 
itself. Be careful not to derange any of the parts that are already connected. 

Commence putting the Machine together, by taking the two side frames and cross pieces, and 
bolting them together as marked; then put in the piece marked R. Hoe &. Co., across the top, and 
screw that fast. Put the cloth roller in its place, hold it back against the springs while the three 
inch distributing roller is put in and screwed fast with the bolts for that purpose. The back shaft, 
with levers attached, should next be put in its place, the caps screwed down, and the weights put 
on by bearing down the ends of the levers that the chains are hooked to, until the opposite end is 
sufficiently raised ; slide them on as marked, make them fast and lower them carefully into the 
stud that is screwed to the side frame for that purpose. Then hook the chains to the levers as 
marked, connect the opposite end of the leather cord to the shaft on the distributing roller, by put¬ 
ting it through the hole from the side marked with a point, until it comes to a piece of twine that 
is tied around it, then turn the set screw in the end of the shaft, and make it fast. The roller 
carriage should next be attached to the lever on the weight shaft, and placed upon its bearings, 
and the sliding rod that works through a projection on the same piece put in its place, which pre¬ 
vents the carriage from running out. The fountain can now be put into its place without disturbing 
any of the parts that are adjusted. Put the counter balance on, so that the two dots shall come 
together, and make it fast by turning the set screw in the lever. 

The Machine must be placed behind the Press as near to the bed as possible, and allow the bed 
to pass without touching ; two wrought iron bearers are to be laid one across each end of the bed 
exactly the proper distance apart so as to receive the wheels of the roller carriage ; when it is re¬ 
quired to work with an old Press, it will be necessary to cut notches through the corner irons on 
the side towards the Machine, to receive the bearers ; but when the Press and Inker are ordered 
together the corner irons are fitted for the bearers, and you have only to place them in the notches. 
The Machine must be levelled up so that the two projecting pieces on which the wheels of the 
roller carriage rest, shall be exactly on the same level as the bearers on the bed of the Press; the 
Machine must stand parallel with the bed, so that the wheels of the roller carriage will roll across 
and back without running off the bearers.

DESCRIPTION. 


I 


I 






The large distributing cylinder vibrates. There are two rollers* to ink the form, j 
moving in a carriage with four wheels. The wheels on one end are plain, those on 
the other have a projecting flange in the middle of the rim. Two wrought iron 
rails are to lie on the bed, outside of the chase ; one of them having a groove cut in 
the top of it, to receive the projecting flanges on one pair of the wheels, the other 
level on the surface. Projecting from the distributor frame are two short rails, on 
which the wheels rest while the rollers are receiving ink from the distributing cylinder. I 
The machine must be set up behind the press so that the short rails on it shall agree 
exactly with the rails on the bed of the press when it is run out, both in height and 
width. The brasses in which the inking rollers run have adjusting screws to regulate 
them, so that they may bear more or less on the type, as circumstances may require. 

* Unless the order be for one roller only.

Improved Lithographic Press, 



This is believed to be the best Press in use, for lithographic printing. The side rods 
and top beam are made of wrought iron; the bed and stone are raised to the scraper by 
a lever and steel cam, working on a steel friction roller; the impression is regulated by 
a single screw through the top beam ; the scraper is hung on a pivot, that it may accom¬ 
modate itself to inequalities in the surface of the stone ; the bed is made of the tough¬ 
est ash, plated with iron, with iron runners, which run on friction rollers ; the tympan 
frame is wrought iron, with screws and nuts for stretching the tympan. The larger sizes 
are geared, so as to enable the printer to take an impression from the largest stone with 
ease.

Hydrostatic Press. 



On the introduction of cylinder presses and steam power for Book and Job Printing, 
the screw standing press was found to be inadequate to the task of pressing the printed 
sheets, hence the introduction of the Hydrostatic Press for that purpose. We, for sev¬ 
eral years, made them with cast iron cylinders, and they answered well for sheets as 
large as super royal; but now, when most of the book printing is done on paper as 
large as double medium, and some even as large as quadruple super royal, we have found 
it indispensably necessary to make the'cylinders of solid wrought iron.

Paper Cutting Machine. 



This cut represents a machine that is used by printers and others tor cutting paper. 
The working portion of the machine is made of wrought and cast iron, steel and brass, 
and is supported by frame work and a table of wood. The knife is attached to a verti- 
cle slide with a rack on one edge of it; this is moved up and down by a pinion, that 
turns in bearings on a head or carriage, which slides horizontally over the table. The 
parts above and below the table, are connected by wrought iron rods and a screw. A 
hand wheel attached to the screw is used to raise the horizontal slide, so as to admit the 
paper under it, and then to screw it down and press it hard upon the top of the table. 
The operator takes hold of the pinion shaft, which serves as a handle, and slides the car¬ 
riage, *vith the knife in it, across the paper, at the same time turning the pinion so as to 
force the knife down and cut the paper. 

It will cut paper as wide as 27 inches. 


Price $50. 













































































































































































The frame and table are made of cast iron, and are fitted up in the most substantial 
manner. The table and guages are planed perfectly true. The cutters are of cast steel, 
and can be adjusted by set-screws, taken off to be re-ground, and when worn out they 
can be replaced with but trifling expense. In addition to the usual guages there is a 
spring lever, suspended over the board, that (when the board is placed against the 
guage) is brought down by the operator placing his foot on a treadle ; this holds the 
board so firm as to preclude the possibility of its slipping. The blades of the shears 
are 29 inches long. 

Price $75.
